What are some quick ways to increase my physical activity?
• Try to always use the stairs instead of the elevator • Have your parents park farther away from stores to increase walking distance • If you have recess, pick a more intense activity to do (play soccer instead of tether ball) • If you already walk, swim or ride your bike, try to go a little further and a little faster • Walk or run with the family dog, or ask to walk your neighbor’s dog! • Find a nearby park to play at with family and friends • Get involved with sports teams and after school activities • Get your parents to take you places on the weekend like the park, to go swimming, to go hiking, bike riding, or anything else that sounds like fun activity!
